A Taste of Authentic Italian Food Cookery in Cortona Tuscany with Simonetta

About

Simonetta introduces you to her kitchen, full
of books, spices, jars full of dried
fruit and naturally with her pots and pans hanging from the wall,
because there is no room left.

Cooking courses are a full immersion in her
lifestyle, a mix of food and culture, but also of practicality. Learn to make dishes which you can easily
reproduce at your home, and you will
amaze yourselves creating ravioli, fresh pasta, gnocchi, pizza...

Simonetta will teach you the simple but
important tricks of everyday cooking, such as how to substitute an ingredient
at the last moment, but what really counts is to have a passion for food.... and
some fresh herbs at hand.

Participants can be from one to a maximum of
eight people, all working with the
ingredients to create the final dish, all following the various steps and being
allowed to taste but above all we aim to have fun.

After the cooking course comes the best time - to eat
the food, and so “tutti a tavola”,
